Check your owners manual to see if you have a button to disable “overdrive”, it’s for adverse conditions such as uphill or downhill, off-road or rainy, etc. It prevents the shifting up too early and gives each gear more range to operate in. By default it’s on because it saves fuel, and they make the button hard to find sometimes.

Technically they have at least 2 “gears”, forward and reverse. But does it really count if all you do is shout at the angry pixies to run the other way?

Boatswain -> Bosun -> Bo’s’n

Y can act as a consonant or a vowel, depending on the position in the word.

Definitely a vowel: Baby

Part of a vowel sound: Play

Not a vowel at all: Yes, lawyer

When a Y starts a syllable, it typically doesn’t take a vowel sound, closer to a “soft j” sound.

DEI is an attempt at merit-based hiring. The only difference is what the definition of merit is. The definition that is based on past achievements is biased towards those who have previously had better opportunities, not necessarily better skills. DEI takes a look at the potential of someone in the context of how well they’ve done with respect to what has been available to them.

Someone who has a GED instead of graduating high school on time might have had opportunities closed to them because they had a reason for dropping out of high school (e.x. had to help family by getting a job), so it wouldn’t be equitable to judge them harshly for not having as strong of a resume as someone who had a “conventional” experience and was given more opportunities fresh out of highschool because they could afford to take an unpaid/low pay internship, instead of focusing on taking care of a family.

Nothing about either situation really can tell you about an applicants potential in the field or their work ethic or anything. But 9 times out of 10 the one who was fortunate enough to finish highschool on time will be ahead in the selection process for no reason other than they didn’t have life get in the way of their career.

DEI won’t be able to magically tell you which candidate is better, but it can allow employers to level the playing field and use different metrics to measure merit that might be less biased against people who have had nontraditional lives through no fault of their own.

Trump can’t legally get elected again

Trump can’t legally sexually assault women, but that still happened. We’ll see how this plays out.

Rittenhouse attacked 3 people, that’s 3x the danger. But I guess I forgot to count up their net worths.

“keep thinking about the rabbits, Lenny Mr. CEO.”

Because the inlet and outlet of 2 are the same size, 2 will always be filled last, if at all. Once 5 is filled, it will spill out the edges of the container rather than back flowing.

Don’t worry, there’s always that one house that gives out files instead.

As a note, AMD 7000 series GPU for AV1 encode, the encoder is flawed and can only produce factors of 64x16 pixels, as well as a special 1920x1082 ratio. If your have a lot of 1080p content, it will be recorded with two lines of black pixels on the left and right, and then set to crop it out on video playback.

Just something to keep in mind if you go with that series of GPUs.

Maybe, but a locus is a type of grasshopper.

Unless the artist only posts on YouTube, try soulseek. Most files have metadata already included, and if they don’t, you can just download from another user.

First proper video game? Black hawk Down

Having completed “Hacknet”, the hit 2015 hacker simulator video game.

(Only half joking)

I saw a post earlier about Empress returning to game cracking. For modern video games that use Denuvo DRM, she’s the only person who can really crack it, as far as I know. Singlehandedly holding up the AAA game piracy scene.

Water is sink, so rock and water will destroy each other. Think of the rock as if it is as tall as the water is deep, and creates a platform.

So archery is a sport because it requires effort, but the effort isn’t the part that makes archery hard? Olympic archers don’t struggle with pulling the bowstring, they struggle with aiming the bow to get fractions of a point.

If they ran a lap in between shots during the shooting sports would you call that a sport?

For the air sports I might be able to let it slide, as air rifle/pistol is seen as more of a kids sport, to learn the basics. But their trap performance this morning was disappointing. So far, half of the shooting sports have been done, but the second half is more popular in the US, so there’s still time to see the US stretch it’s legs in shooting.
